Can we Blennies all just get along???!!!

[MitchReef]

I have a young Sailfin Blennie and a Midas Blennie about 4" long. I'm considering putting them both in my 120G mixed reef display but wondered if they will have "issues" with each other. Since I generally consider this the "go to" place for good information I figured I would put it up here.

all signs point to yes there will be problems. I blenny per tank unless they are barnacle blennies

Thanks for the info...I don't want any undue stress in the display so I guess I will avoid the pairing....

I have a sailfin blenny (Emblemaria pandionis) with a bi-colour blenny in my 40"x24"x24" mixed reef and there's no trouble at all.

I had 2 different blennys in my 90 and they fought like cats and dogs. One ended up with a bi color mouth sized hole in its side so I had to separate them. Of corse my bi color fought with my male anthias too so maybe an attitude problem?

I had issues with a Molly Miller Blenny and a Bluespotted Watchman Goby. The Blenny was very aggressive towards the Goby.

Have a 4" Midas and a 2" Tailspot in a 75g reef tank, they never really bother each other. Every now and then the Midas scares the Tailspot when he gets really close but never nips or chases.
